    I do. TPBM has played Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and/or its sequel, Shadow of War.

    I've been writing a lot, recently. Of what I haven't shared here (yet), these are probably my favorite bits.

    "And to Her left stood the solemn simulacrum of Leviathan. He loomed over the courtyard with the dark, inevitable stillness of death, His first domain...

    The statue was holding a gaunt finger to its lips, and the Hammer remembered the silence of a hundred thousand unmarked graves beneath a burning sky...

    Once, the seven had been eight. That had been long, long ago—before the Age of Wandering, before the Second of Seven, before the sky had burned and the dawn had died. The Hammer knew a man who had watched the sunrise fail. A man who called himself Bors.
    The Hammer glanced once more at the looming figure of Leviathan. He had seen that god, once. Beneath that burning sky, he had—for a brief, fleeting moment—seen a figure, cloaked in a shadow and crowned in dread, holding a bloodied sickle as He picked His way through the screams of the wounded and the silence of the dead, seeking those who were dying, to take them away beyond the Veil."

    "He fought no men, only the rain. He parried, slashed, and stabbed at the storm as it crawled overhead, the black raiment of Taranis the Thunderer hiding the radiant sun. Lightning cracked across the sky, briefly illuminating Daernholm’s black walls with sheer white light. Thunder growled and rumbled, far away and close at hand. Enarë could feel it in is chest."

    "Night fell upon the Fields of Revine, shadows lengthening and darkening beneath a burning dusk. Fires crackled among the groans of wounded men and the silence of the dead. The stars were glimpsed only briefly, the wind blowing smoke in front of their pinprick lights...

    The Iron Knights had fought for the greater part of a day, killing and being killed since before dawn. Now, as night fell, they had finally snatched victory from the jaws of death."

    - from an untitled short story written from the prompt "Waste"

    I have SO many short scenes and stories written from one or two-word prompts, and most of them are pretty good, I think. My gf and I go to Stories sometimes, and we'll sit and write those for a few hours. It's rly fun.

    Have any of you used Inkarnate? I'm thinking about getting the free version, but I want to know 1) how intuitive it is and 2) if the paid version is worth it.

    1. kajsa ㅇㅅㅇ

      kajsa ㅇㅅㅇ

      I've used it! So there are a lot of things you can do with the free version, but I've found that those things aren't generally the most useful. Also, you can't have more than three or four tabs open while you're using it, and even then it's pretty glitchy. It does come out with beautiful maps by the end! I don't have the paid version, but if I did I'd use it a lot more. I'll see if i can find a picture of one i've made before

      Well, there are two nude scenes in the book. One is almost impossible for the movie to do and the second is probable, all things considered. The idea conveyed in the scene could and, all things considered, should be shown in other ways. Yet there is a chance that it’ll suck and get an r rating.

      i hope it’s not R, but it is possible.

    Nope. Never even heard of it. TPBM has read The Silmarillion.

    I rewrote the prologue of my book. It can be found here. Enjoy!

      Hmm…maybe just the writing itself a little bit, I liked all of it but it was hard to take the prince seriously because the way they were talking felt too dramatic, other than that it was good though!

      I think the writing in The Silmarillion is rubbing off on me lol. How would you suggest I change it?

    4. Edema Rue

      Edema Rue

      I…have no idea, and I’m not trying to tell you how to write your book, just pointing out where it rubbed at me :P

    I went on a walk with my gf this evening and it was amazing!!

    Pictures tomorrow.

  17. The cheeseman
    It's treason then.

    Okay SO.

    The main issue with the gauntlets is that the piece that goes over my forearm is 1) kinda long and 2) loose. Not only that, but the loop that goes around my thumb is nice and snug without gloves, but impossible to wear with gloves. And I need the gloves in order for the gauntlets to not be loose. I have an old belt, so I could cut some leather off of that to fix the thumb issue. I could also cut down the leather that wraps around the bottom of my forearm a little bit, to make it fit more snugly. However, if that doesn't work, I would then not be able to return them.

    So, I have a bit of a dilemma. More likely, but not by much, I'll probably DIY it, since that would be a good learning experience.

    On a side note, I hate that when I try to make a lettered list and type "B)" it autocorrects to B)

    The gauntlets, unfortunately, are a bit too big. But they look SUPER cool!

    The pouch fits my phone, and the shirt fits perfectly, but I haven't put the full fit together yet. I will when I have gauntlets that fit right.
